I just dled Six Pianos by him last night and its really
good...although Piano Phase is better imo. Six Pianos has a
nice melody to it...and is longer. Really good.
Recommended listening.

Ever heard Triple Quartet? The second track has some
interesting guitar textures. I don't even like guitar that
much, or what is done with guitar I should say, but this
stuff is pretty interesting.

Give titsworth a mail; he's got a great bit of writing that
contrasts/compares Reich & SAWII...

Six Pianos. If this is the one I think it is It is possibly
my favourite too. Could be six marambo's though. Come to
think of it I love all Reich stuff. Anyone heard Steve
Reich the early works? Especially the clapping song and
come to that what about Alec Empires "sounds like" clapping
song. Of those two in my opinion Alec Empires is best.

Yea Steve Reich he rocks!

I also really like Tehillim and Three Movements.

The chorus arrangement on Tehillim is amazing.

I've always assciated the six piano,s Six marambas? with
Christmas. Now I'd like to be sure and say that this is not
because I heard it at christmas and this -to me- makes that
well more interesting. However memory is not one of my
strongest mental functions.

I have this really great cd simply entitled Minamilists or
something. The cover is a big Turquois M and there's like
nuts and bolts things in the picture too. This was the cd
that introduced me to this form of music.

listen to his early works, they're my favourite

come out (to show them), and
it's gonna rain

manic speech loops seemingly going on forever

put it on and turn down the lights so only one of your
senses are working, guarenteed fuck up

it really taps into your brain, makes you laugh and you're
wondering why you're laughing :)

Come Out is such a great track. You're garanteed to become
disoriented by the 8 min mark. I didn't care for Its Gonna
Rain mainly cause of its composition... Come Out is better
in that regard. Its more set out. Its Gonna Rain is
spastic. He had too many ideas he wanted to do with that
song and it didn't come out that well.

I love his phase stuff. Violin / Piano and all his other
stuff... marimbas too.

I wish he did a Trumpet Phase or accoustic Guitar Phase
song. That would be cool. Or even human voices...simple
words for each person but they'd all speech together...then
someone would go out of sinc and then it would be chaos.
Sorta like choral music meets Violin Phase...
